The Wild Bird Fund will hold a special film screening of A Birders Guide to Everything on June 27, 2013. This event is co-sponsored and hosted by the Colonial Dames of America.

A Birder's Guide to Everything, starring Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival and won second place in the prestigious Audience Award Competition. It is a coming-of-age story about a high school student and his fellow birding enthusiasts who embark on a quest to find the extinct Labrador duck. Birder's also examines the universal themes of overcoming grief, first love, and friendship. Filled with quick-witted birding quips, this film is sure to delight birders and non-birders alike.

Refreshments will be served in the Colonial Dames of America's picturesque gardens at 6:00pm. The film will begin at 7:00 pm, and at the conclusion of the screening, the film's director, Rob Meyer, will hold a question-and-answer session. The evening will conclude with wine and dessert.
